Spring Guardians Divine

Zooming down the alley into the night,

The ship starts shaking, I hear a-knocking

Oh, something’s not quite right!

As I push my will forward, it sputters, choking.

Puttering down inertia takes over

Dead in the water, my ship is at a standstill

Cursing SHIT FUCK SHIT DAMN UUGGGHH I strain, hoping for a brother

Sometimes, though when others won’t women will

Together we form a triforce

Of Maiden,  Mother, Crone

Upon being thanked these women resound “Of course!”

As they help me seat my thirsty ship in a lined throne.

Mother helped steer since I was so flustered

Crone supported the pushing and pulling

And together we all divinely mustered

My sanctuary ready for fueling.

Leaving her hastily while I slip

Into the Crone’s car with the red bottle

With which to acquire my sanctuary’s spirit

So that once more the van can throttle

I strike a conversation with this woman of allure

Her voice comes out thick with a foreign sound

I listened to her talk of a movie, attention pure

When I asked where she was from, her answer made my interest abound

“Israel” the one word sentence hung

Briefly in the air like cigarette smoke

Before I could express how my heart sung

As I realized now her earlier joke

I was so grateful to this kind woman’s help

And she made no big deal of it, “One day, you could save my life.”

I know definitely I would run towards her yelp

If ever it were needed to fight against Nazi strife.

Without her pervasive vibe of zen,

I’m sure that last night could have spiraled into havoc

There was a time or two for Mother when

She’d rather have left,  but Crone brought glue magic

The synchronicity of us three coming together

Shows how the world of good is still active and pure

These throughts help brighten my internal weather

And gives validation to leading by example for sure!

Spring Thoughts

Spring blossoms open up like mandalas

While the world’s emotions catch on cleansing fire

We fight  feeling like impalas

As we stare into the eyes of preadators who aspire

To kill this bounteous Mother, Earth

Sucking dry the energies of whom gave birth

To this wonderous opportunity

To live in peace, happy and free!

As we weave new tales with friends and lovers

Rolling through the storms and waves life wrought

May our hearts grow strong and recover

From the unwitting strife attachments brought

As the silver linings paint rainbows in the sky

May we be inspired to shine Light far and wide

Let us all support each other up

So we can join against evils like Trump

Sometimes we fall prey to distraction

Even as people come together to heal one another

May we all get better at weaving together intention and action

So instead of feeling grey we are always painting life with colour

As spring courses through the world like a river

May we emulate all great caregivers

Leading by example our tribe into a better world

In which all our beauties become unfurled

We have to show the greedy ones the better way

And divided we fall, we cannot let ourselves

Break down as we usher in this Golden new day

To progress infighting repels

As we come to a point where we to the Earth amend

May we also interpersonally mend

All wounds wrought in the times of darkness and fear

Because a better world together could be near.

Raindrops

Awaking to the patter of raindrops on the roof

Head smashed in from that Jameson 40 proof

I rush around the sleepy town for a place to pee

As I contemplate my life and why I can’t hang free

I sat all night at a tiny party

The company was jovial, laughs hearty

I could not seem to crack a smile

I just coped, feeling anxious all the while

Perchance it’s just depression

I hope I didn’t pass off the impression

Of superiority or a lack of interest

I hope I can still make friends even though I’m distant

So oft I feel bereft of life

In this world so grey and full of strife

But we desperately need to be charged, with joy

So that we can rise up and make oppressors our toy

But my candle-flame still flickers

As I watch others fill with liquors

I contemplate my existence

And plan how to do resistance.

But will any of it come to fruition?

I feel like I’m in constant addition

Of projects, dreams, goals, desires

How will I ever be all that I aspire?

And what of the wounds of the heart?

How and when will the healing start?

It’s causing me to get more and more bitter

But I must press forward… am I a quitter?

But on rainy deluge days like these,

I’ve got to stay distracted and appease

Whatever deamon makes me feel less worthwhile

Than all this capitalist shit in a pile.

I close my eyes and resist the urge to pray

For not another long drawn out day

For the period of never-ending sleep

So that I might not have to wake and weep.

Blues Reverie

I heard you in the car today.

The song twisted and sang blue grey.

The guitar strummed through my heart

And time stood still as I felt you, though we be far apart.

A passing soul pauses the thought

To inquire if I am deep in worry.

I turned and directed to fear naught

Though my view grew blurry.

Mind’s eye painted memories whole

Of us staring deep into one another – one soul

Entranced in a jive-inspired dance

It will possibly be the best of my time, perchance.

Thank you for risk-taking with me

I had no idea I hadn’t cleared the thicket of thorn

That had wrapped around this heart’s debris.

Have I added scars, I mourn

Into the night the car speeds forward

On and on we must continue toward

A better way of being, communicating

Instead of spreading negative feeling, making fleeing

Needed in this already grey-scale world.

Opening up about this newfound project

To others I saw wisdom hurled

And to none could I object.

May it be the beginning of a castle

Of silver linings, across the sky, ample

With which to paint a glorious new dawn sky

Maybe even finally reach stage of butterfly.

Waves of contemplation overcome what would be actions

Please help me to shirk Atlas’ burden divine

Let me mend harm wrought from my reactions

As  we constantly strive to positively redefine.

How You

As I listen to your beauteous song,

My soul just has to go and dance along

And I smile at you, my Love

And wonder how you came to join me from far above

You love me when I’m mad,

You paint smiles on my mouth when sad.

I cannot fathom how this happened

But grateful I am – it’s better than I ever imagined!

Cat’s got my tongue as I stumble around

Making unintelligible sound

As you pour your love into me

You open my eyes to truly see

How to be positive when facing struggle

How to prepare for the future rubble,

How I’m gorgeous even though I’ve got problems

How to transform out of this Autumn

And into the beautiful breezy butterfly

That within this scarred cocoon lies

Awaiting with bated breath its unfurling

That’s only possible with this healing

You have provided me this divine space

You help me climb to a higher place

You throw blessings around everywhere

You constantly show all you care!

In case you don’t know why I feel

So passionately for you – it’s cuz you heal

As you gracefully through life flow

And make the world around you grow.
